Nearby Proceno is host to an assortment of shops, cafes, and a well-regarded restaurant located in a castle. The spa baths of Saturnia and Bagno Vignoni are not far away, offering year-round pleasures. There is also a golf course about 18 km from the property.

Questions and Answers From Our Clients
(Click the question to view the answer)
Q: Is the pool private?
Do the owners live at the property?
A: Pool is shared with other property guests, if there are any. The owners were not living on the property when we rented the villa.
A: The property itself is very private. There are three apartments on the property and they all share the pool, but we found we often had it to ourselves. The owners do not live in Italy; they have a property manager who lives in Proceno and is easily reached by telephone if there are any issues.
